The Milani FamilyUK: Last Hurrah with Nana!

As a last excursion before Nana left we made the trek out to Warwick Castle. It was a bit chilly and rainy but we did it. The day did not start off on a good note since our car was dead and we had to call a tow truck to come help us. The nice man had to juice up our engine. He was very nice about it. Mommy and daddy were a bit crabby about it though. All was well in the end because the man fixed the car and we left for Warwick Castle which is about an hour and a half outside of London.

Warwick Castle isn't a very big castle, as far as castles go. I should know because I'm becoming a pro at judging castles. (I think Windsor and Hampton Court are still my favorites!)
We visited the state rooms where they had several wax figures of famous people. I only recognized one: the Queen! They had lots of Christmas decorations that were really pretty. We didn't go into the tower, even though Nana and daddy wanted to wait in the long queue and go in. Mommy said it was too scary for me and for Marco. What a buzz kill mom can be. Next time.
Inside the castle grounds there was a fair going on with all sorts of fun rides, games, and tasty treats! I LOVED the fast car ride. Marco is still too small to go on any of the rides but that's okay because I think he was content in watching me whizz around with mommy, who thought the ride was too fast.

There were also people dressed up in "period" costumes. Nana LOVES that stuff. I talked to one of the ladies but I cannot remember her name... I think she was a Countess or something. She had funny hair and a big bum.

We saw lots of peacocks too. They were very pretty and had lots of colorful feathers...
We had fun with Nana at the castle. We will have to visit more castles next time she comes back!!!

The day didn't get off to a good start.... Daddy and the Tow-truck man!
